Australia’s national parliament has been hit by another scandal, with reports that government staffers filmed sexual encounters in the building and brought in sex workers to see MP [Member of Parliament, not Military Police] clients. Channel Ten and The Australian newspaper reportedly obtained videos and images of sexual encounters filmed inside Parliament House, involving four Liberal-National staff members.

As an initial matter, one might wonder whether each of these filmed sexual encounters involved four Liberal-National staff members. Could have been quite a party. Also, unlike what we learned about President Bubba and his predilections, no word on whether any cigars were harmed in the filming of these encounters. But hey, maybe Aussies deserve their reputation for being a bit randy?

Also, on a more serious note (if you don't want one of those, stop reading now), if you read the original story, you'll see how the reporter tries to deflect or conflate these rather salacious bits with accounts of apparently-unrelated potentially criminal behavior. But hey, I guess that's what passes as journalism these days, and anything to talk about sexual assaults, even in a story about what sounds like consensual events at the Australian parliament.
